SAYA for Windows

A voice-controlled teleprompter for your Windows PC.

Read your script at your own pace. SAYA follows your speech word by word, with recognition running on your PC.

Your words stay next to your webcam.

Under the Camera, the default style, keeps your script in a small strip near the lens, and spoken words change colour as you talk. To fill the display instead, choose Full Screen in Settings › Prompter.

SAYA's Under the Camera strip on Windows, showing three lines of a talk at the top of the screen, with spoken words, the current word and upcoming words in different colours.

Install it on your PC.

  1. Download and run the installer

    The installer is not code-signed. After checking that you downloaded it from the SAYA download page, select More info, then Run anyway.

  3. Let setup get the speech model

    Setup downloads the speech model. Installation and activation need an internet connection.

The Windows interface differs from the Mac app. Pictures of the Mac interface elsewhere on this site show the Mac version.
